18. Let's start by finding the ratio, since this will make it easier to model it on the number line.
We can write 6 as
so
In order to do a division of fractions, we multiply both ends of the operation and put the result in the numerator, and then we multiply the two numbers in the middle and put them in the denominator:
In other words, the quotient is 8.
17. Now that we know the result of the operation, we simply mark the 8 on the number line:
Answer:
2/3 or 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The given relation is ...
x +1/x = 2 1/6
x^2 +1 = (13/6)x
6x^2 -13x +6 = 0 . . . . . subtract the right side and multiply by 6
(6x -9)(6x -4)/6 = 0 . . . . factor
(2x -3)(3x -2) = 0 . . . . . . simplify a bit
x = 3/2 or 2/3 . . . . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero
The number is 2/3 or its reciprocal, 3/2.
Area = 30 square feet
length = 6 feet
width = ?
w × l = area
w × 6 = 30
w = 30/6
w = 5 feet
Answer
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the total, 50.35, and subtract 19.95:
50.35 - 19.95 = 30.40
Now divide 30.40 by 3.80:
(30.4)/(3.8) = 8
Therefore, Tony bought 8 markers.
